Holoholokai Beach Park, Hawai'i (Big Island)

This quiet, peaceful beach is located behind the Orchid at Mauna Lani. While it is separate from any of the hotels, it often gets included in hotel amenity lists. A secluded, rocky expanse, it is good for hiking or picnicking, but not so good for swimming. A path across the parking lot from the beach leads to the Puako Petroglyphs. Restrooms and picnic tables are onsite. Pets and off-road vehicles are not allowed and camping is prohibited. Do not try to bend the rules, security guards patrol regularly.
